Re Norris posting. If you go to C/R leCirque 2006 and go to the pages that have the show bikes that year, You will find a photo of ME with my Best Brit bike winner 1950 Mercian R/P Kitted out JUST like Norris said,?One thing that I kept when leaving England in 1957 for the USA was my Brooks Swallow saddle and the Bloody Cyclo levers that attach the sprints, Many Many miles the bike went with the complete kit to go racing! Anyone that's wants a copy of the photo Email me crumpy6204@aol.com?OH! the memory's. No throwing the bike in the back of the Pick up truck in those days. Must have weighed a ton.but strip her down, on with the sprints and what a difference hear those tires HUM!? CHEERS John Crump OldwornoutBUTHAPPYBRIT, Parker Co USA
